The charts display the production totals for various biofuel categories in the U.S. bioenergy market, measured in trillions of British thermal units. Total biofuel energy production was 1,364 trillion British thermal units in 2010 and increased to 1,831 trillion British thermal units in 2017.
Select from each drop-down menu the option that creates the most accurate statement, given the information provided.
The percentage of Other Advanced Biofuels production out of the total in 2017 was approximately times the percentage in 2010.

Official Solution:
Drop-down 1:
In 2017, Other Advanced Biofuels production accounted for (72/1,831) * 100% of the total production.
In 2010, Other Advanced Biofuels production accounted for (2/1,364) * 100% of the total production.
To determine how many times greater the 2017 percentage was compared to 2010, we calculate:
\(\frac{(\frac{72}{1,831})}{(\frac{2}{1,364})} =\frac{72}{1,831}*\frac{1,364}{2} =36*\frac{1,364}{1,831}\), which is approximately 27.
Drop-down 2:
Evaluating the charts, we identify two candidates for the smallest percentage increase: Conventional Ethanol and Biopower.
Conventional Ethanol increased by \(\frac{1,342 - 1,127}{1,127} * 100 \approx 19\%\).
Biopower increased by \(\frac{214 - 191}{191} * 100 \approx12\%\).
Since 12% is the smallest percentage increase, the least growth occurred for Biopower.
Correct answer:
Dropdown 1: "27"
Dropdown 2: "Biopower"
